George Washington University (GW) is a private college with headquarters in Washington, D.C. Originally known as the Columbian College in the District of Columbia, the school was established to fulfill the wish of George Washington to have a college in the nation's capitol. Today, the school offers many accredited degree plans to both campus students and online students.
Offering degrees in healthcare, paralegal studies, political management and public relations, GW's online program is designed for busy, adult learners. Those with work and family commitments will be able to complete degrees at an accelerated rate and on their own schedule. Many students earn an online graduate degree from GW by taking classes on evenings and weekends.
GW is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission on Higher Education (MSCHE). Some of the school's programs have more specific accreditation, in addition to the school's approval by MSCHE. GW's paralegal studies program, for example, has curriculum approval from the American Bar Association (ABA).
Students in need of financial aid should apply through the school's financial aid department, as well the federal government, by completing a current FAFSA form. GW offers scholarships and work study programs, while the government provides grants and loans to those who qualify. GW, in addition to being a reputable institution of higher learning, strives to be an affordable private college.
